If you need to send large files to someone, you can use Firefox Send: https://send.firefox.com/ The file is encrypted, the urls are expiring, it costs nothing.
You should treat other businesses with respect, this is not a Firefox fan board. Dropbox is also an alternative product, even connected to this board and their service is superb. It is premium.
"try for free" - can't see what the pricing for this is anywhere. Does it require Dropbox plus?
They all follow the same pattern: introduce a paid-for product, tell you a bit about it, then give you a link to try it for free - OK, but then how much is it actually going to cost!!
Sorry for the rant, but there are just so many landing pages using this dark pattern, and I'm absolutely sick of it.
Good to see them finally doing something addressing actual user needs for a change, instead of chasing greener pastures. Given my informal observations over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if transferring large files was the main need that drives users to Dropbox - when dealing with individuals and companies outside tech, I frequently saw them giving the advice to "get a Dropbox" when someone needed to send them m…
I suspect the bundled OneDrive in Office365 is hurting them. Dropbox is better, but hard to justify if you already have something that's good enough.
(1) exception: you can have one personal and one business account

Edit: I use Google Drive because of Google docs. sigh

100%. I shut down DropBox at last $dayjob (mid-size) after piloting OneDrive. Saved tens of thousands a year. OneDrive was inferior, no doubt, but good enough. And will only become better. More importantly, I cannot imagine anyone building better integration with Office (live editing) than the actual Office company.
After working with their stuff I totally can :)
Joke aside, MS is doing a great job commoditizing the space around Office 365 with Teams and OneDrive. I think DropBox and Slack are feeling a lot of pressure right now.

I left Dropbox because they count shared space against everyone involved, which makes me cannot share the "photos" folder with my wife (unless we both purchase the 1T plan). Not sure whether they changed this practice. I am a satisfied OneDrive+Office365 user now.

I use https://www.swisstransfer.com/ , which even if it only supports 50Gb and not 100Gb, it is totally free and doesn't need a account to upload the files. Way easier
(As a Swiss, I love the sound of it. But need to figure out what their model is, otherwise surely if I'm not the customer, I'm the product)
